What owners report
GAS TANK LEAKS FROM BOTTOM AND COULD HAVE BLOWN MY HOUSE UP BUT LUCKILY THE CHARGER NEXT TO IT WAS NOT PLUGGED IN. THE PLASTIC TANK IS WARPED FROM ENGINE HEAT AND IT IS A ENGINEERING DEFECT THEY SHOULD PAY FOR A NEW TANK. *TR
I HAVE AN APRILIA FALCO MOTORCYCLE. IN THE FUEL LINE IS A COLDER MADE PLASTIC DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT THAT HAS BEEN SPLITTING APART ON MANY OF THE OWNERS VEHICLES. THE FAILURE RELEASES ALL THE GAS FUEL ONTO THE RIDER, REAR TIRE AND ROAD. A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE REQUIRE A RECALL OF THE MANUFACTURER APRILIA. A RECALL FOR THE PART HAS BEEN MADE BY TRIUMPH AND OTHERS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I HAVE A 2001 APRILIA FUTURA MOTORCYCLE. WHEN LIFTING UP THE TANK FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THE QUICK DISCONNECT FUEL FITTING UNDER THE TANK BROKE, CAUSING THE ENTIRE TANK OF FUEL TO LEAK OUT ALL OVER THE FLOOR. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE THIS BIKE AND ALMOST ALL HAD HAD A SIMILAR FAILURE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF A FIRE HAD RESULTED. THE QUICK DISCONNECTED DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN STRESSED IN ANY WAY WHILE RAISING THE TANK. IT JUST CRACKED AS THE RUBBER FUEL LINE WAS SLIGHTLY MOVED. I AM CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR METAL QUICK DISCONNECTS TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PLASTIC ONES. THE PLASTIC PART LOOKS VERY FLIMSY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
